If the spring retainer bolts are gone, I've found the trailer has either rolled, or nearly rolled, whether a light duty or commercial trailer. Seeing the chaos other drivers send to the guys that have to fix it never ceases to amuse me lmao. That was an overloaded trailer with an asshole puckering event. You and your guy made quick and good work, lubed the springs so that they're quiet and wear well. You'll keep the good operators happy and the bad ones on the road. Bent light duty axles are a given, until they affect camber or load handling haha Edit: Just noticed the tires impacted the fender too LMAO

The suspension coming apart like that was caused by not enough tongue weight. They probably put all the weight on the rear of the trailer and caused it to sway from side to side. I did the same thing and it caused the identical damage.

Okay, we found this video kinda funny... At the beginning of the video we were saying "okay how is he going to fix this ?"... We are so used to you scrapping the old damaged stuff and fabricating something real Stout & better. Moving along the video all you did was replace it with new parts, yes it was easier, but it threw us completely off. So we just looked at each other at the end of the video and said " That's it ?". So my husband says " I'm going to the barn"

I've seen that exact kind of damage! car was put on the trailer backwards putting the majority of the weight behind and or at the rear tandem axles. trailer started to fish tail and hopping from side to side. the guy was lucky it had electric brakes and knew to manually activate them to get the trailer under control, it almost flipped the truck he was towing with... the trailer had bent leafs and re-arranged the axles. 👍👍

As usual great content! Really nice to see you guys in action!!! In my personal opinion only, and experience, it's always better to put something more for safety besides the crane when working underneath. Unfortunately, I know 2 guys that worked on repairing a shovel with the bucket up and there was some failure in the hydraulics, the bucket fell and crushed them both to death😢 Be safe! 🤟And keep up the wonderful work!💪

Big difference in working on hydraulics and causing them to fail, vs a separate system doing what it is designed to do like a crane. I understand your point, but almost every single hydraulic fatality I know of is caused by accidentally pressure loss, not mechanical failure. Humans ignorance/stupidity is the issue.

Loading a spring actually lengthins it as the spring flattens it, it gets longer. Which in turn holding it in place. Deep holes causing one wheel to be carried a long with missing "limiter Bolts". Tight turns along with scrub worsens suspension mishaps.

last week i went in for a weekend job, to weld a trailer like that back together because the frame broke at the rear axle structure support so the back end fell down... 6 inch tall by 3 inch C-channel 1/8th wall with a 1/2 inch gap where it broke. brazed it all together in place with 10 7024 5/32'' 14'' rods and 20 5/32 6010 12'' rods, about an inch and a half past the brake even put a 3''x3"X1/4" plate on the top of the joint... took 3 hours. but for a 1/8th or 5/32nd wall C channel, its nearly structural like a 3''x3''x1/4'' L-channel... 10 ton trailer that theoretically can not have more then 1500lb roll up onto the rear tail without using blocks under the tail end corners. two car trailers should be made of 8 inch 1/4'' wall C-channel that has squared segments and three axles... because it it fits most of the time it gets used, another ... up goes another 18'000lb CAT up a 1500lb loading ramp on a 10K trailer... because it fits...

Trailer was way overloaded or no tongue weight and it started see-sawing. You can see where the tires hit the inside of the fender. Whatever it was they are lucky that stuff was new and someone like you did it. It might have ended a lot worse. If whoever did the welds on those hangers last time did them as well as I usually see trailer welds they could have lost the trailer, had a truck rollover, broke the entire axle out or killed somebody else.

Regardless of what happened, the suspension on that trailer looks really anemic! I believe that trailer would never pass inspection here in Europe.There was probably way too much weight on the back of the trailer and not enough on the tongue. Good that you got it back together again, but I would have felt more comfortable if you had put some stands of other supports underneath it. Cranes and rigging have been known to fail. Have a good, safe and peaceful Sunday.
